OP, you’re clearly on a path to enlightenment, which as a process is expected to undermine previous ‘knowledge’. However, you’re here attempting to guide and teach others using the logic of limited concious awareness that is bound by scientific observation and preferences for opposing dualities. In other words, minds lost in delusion. Even the use of words, which are only a representation of reality, are not sufficient for the task.

Regarding cause and effect, I’ll say this: It’s common to think the past effects the future due to the illusion of time. When a boat passes by and we see the wake, we say boat is cause and wake is effect. But the boat does not make the water move. With modern science we understand that the boat and the water are atomic matter, it is the atom that moves, and we do not know what moves the atom and creates form. Further, a conclusion reached based on a convenient seperation of concpets, i.e. considering only the boat and wake separate from the entire cosmos, is laughable.

True cause, or the one great matter, is a mystery and cannot be known. The true effect is the eternal and unwavering present moment.

Really? Next time you’re meditating, take a look at what I’m doing IRL and then afterwards, come back here and post a description. Please include my residential address for confirmation.

No meditation can enable the concious mind to be aware of all things everywhere. Always, something is ignored.

Is it because in Linux the UI is so customisable that there’s no definitive ‘look’ to sell?

I will now attempt a full comment … brace your hard drives

They could have concepts of self maintenance, which include cleaning, degreasing and re-lubrication during repair. Would that be considered clean by non-biological standards?

As a parent, I would prefer this to modern western environments for children that include TVs, video games, phones and no idea what I do for a profession.

I like how one person said they don’t use child labour because they are inefficient. If they were efficient though …
